You know the reason for that, don’t you?
The way they teach reading is the problem. They quit teaching spelling and phonetic reading a long time ago. Written language is a code to decipher and if you do not give the keys to decipher it, nobody will be able to decipher it. That is the problem, the keys are phonetic reading and spelling rules. Once the kids have those tools they can read anything they want at their leisure. Here is a good article about it: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2008/03/linda-schrock-taylor/spelling-rules-rule/
